SHOOT TO KILL has failed to fire both starts since resuming winning ways at Roscommon in May, but his sights are now lowered and the 8-y-o meets all of these rivals on significantly better terms than he would in a handicap. He is taken to get the job done, with Catena Zapata and Casanova best of the rest,
